Musigny Grand Cru Pinot Noir 2000

9.9

The 2000 Musigny pours a ruby color with a transparent core; medium viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, this is an absolute smoke show with the most beautiful, delineated notes of fresh, ripe red fruits: strawberry, raspberry, licorice, red flowers, sous bois and gentle cool and warm spices. This beauty effortlessly dances across the palate, presenting dry with medium tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish lasts an eternity. The texture is like finest mulberry silk. It’s weightless and yet, there was an undeniable richness. Utterly brilliant and for me, a core memory wine. Not that this comes as any surprise, but it was fabulous with the canard au vin rouge. Drink now through 2040. — 13 days ago

Lovely. Very fresh, cranberries, forest, a bit of tart berry, some funky earth. Overall a great value, probably a little better in a year or two. — a month ago
